According to officials familiar with the matter, the proposal calls for naming a stretch of KRS Road from the Lakshmi Venkataramanaswamy temple to the Outer Ring Road junction as "Siddaramaiah Arogya Marga".

"Will the BJP welcome it? Opposing things is their duty. They oppose good and also bad things. They don't know anything," Siddaramaiah told reporters here in response to a question.

"Ex-MP (of Mysuru Prathap Simha) is from which party? What has he said? ...others say things, what to do?" he said, citing BJP leader Simha's support for the proposal to name the road after him.
